This PR adds support for use of public keys using ML-DSA 44, ML-DSA 65, and ML-DSA 87 PQC algorithms. This particular implementation uses the
dilithium-pylibrary when present. A newwebauthn.helpers.exceptions.MLDSANotSupportedexception will be raised if a response using these algorithms is passed in withoutdilithium-pyinstalled.Dilithium-py was chosen to facilitate a more timely collaboration. I tried to abstract its use enough to make it easier, in the future, to replace most of this with whatever PQC support ends up getting added to cryptography. This appears to be the parent task over there to track progress on adding ML-DSA support:
pyca/cryptography#12610
Unit tests exist locally that pass with this logic. The WebAuthn responses used for those tests cannot be included in this PR. The plan is to publish this change as an alpha build of v2.8.0, update webauthn.io to use it, then capture some new responses on webauthn.io that can then be backfilled here to properly incorporate testing around this PQC support.
Supersedes #258.
